Convicted Australian drug trafficker Schapelle Corby has reportedly met the approval of her prison warden in Bali for a parole review.

The Jakarta Globe reports Corby may be months away from release from Kerobokan Prison in Denpasar.

The reports say the warden, I Gusti Ngurah Wiratna, on Tuesday signed-off on an 11-person judicial review team's recommendation Corby be granted parole.

Corby is serving a 20-year sentence for marijuana smuggling.

Quoting Warden Wiratna, the reports say her application still awaits final approval by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights and its Bali provincial office.

The AAP news agency is further quoting a senior official with the Denpasar Prosecutor's Office, Anak Agung Wiradarma, saying Ms Corby's brother-in-law paid a $10,000 fine on Tuesday afternoon as part of Ms Corby's original sentence.

"Yes, Corby's fine of RP100 million has been paid," he said.

"Her brother in law came here around 2.30pm, he paid in cash and it was accepted by the prosecutor's office."

Speaking to Jakarta Globe, Warden Wiratna says the prison will send its recommendation to the justice ministry offices once immigration officials exempt Corby from needing a residence permit and Interpol submits a letter stating the Australian national is not on their red list.

She would serve out her parole in Bali.

You have no doubt been hearing a lot about the Paris Agreement and know that it pertains to climate change, but are too embarrassed at this stage to ask for an overall explanation of what it's all about.
